A storm approaching the Philippines and the East Sea will cause heavy
rains in southern Vietnam, the Vietnamese weather bureau predicted
Thursday.

The southern Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting Center said Storm Chanchu
was moving northwest by west towards southern Philippines.

It could reach the East Sea Saturday morning and thus become the first
storm this year on the sea, the centre added.

Two days from now*, the storm will begin to cool down the currently hot
weather in the central region and bring more rains in the central
highlands.

The southern coastal region and Ho Chi Minh City are expected to
experience heavy rains.

The name Chanchu was submitted by Macao and is a Chinese word for
pearl.

That's miles and miles away. About 20 degrees according to this map:

that Texas can occassionally surprise you with news that it can supply
the world with something more useful than a chimpanzee with brain
damage and vigilantes that, let loose on world politics, can be any
thing as evil as Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler could with a lot less
dangerous technology.)

*What spell would that be I wonder**

**No I don't. I already knew:
